​welcome to THE DRHS MUSIC DEPARTMENT!

Welcome to the home page of the Diamond Ranch High School Instrumental Music Department.  Our program consists of several different groups which include the Diamond Ranch Panther Brigade (the marching band), Concert Band, Orchestra, Pageantry, Drumline and Jazz Band. We pride ourselves on our family oriented group environment, superior musicianship, and exciting performances. Each year our groups perform in front of thousands of audience members all over Southern California. If you're the parent of an incoming freshmen please visit our "Future Panthers" tab.  Be sure to visit us regularly as these pages will be updated on a regular basis.
 
The goals of our groups are:

• To foster student growth in character through arts education.
• To produce quality performances.
• To give students a positive life changing experience.
• To give students the fundamental skills to pursue the arts beyond high school.

 
Thank you for visiting our page, and I hope to see you at a future performance.
